Suspension setup: round 2
Gotta wake up early in the morning. Yolie and I are heading to Washington Cycle Works to have her suspension checked again. Depending on what they say, I may just say "eff it!" and ask them to just order new springs, front and rear.
I don't like the idea of softening the suspension past norm to compensate for the suspension being too stiff for my weight.

150ish miles round trip to find out the first guy was prolly trying to talk me into upgrades. Washington Cycle Works, recommended by a couple ppl
Sag was at 26 / 41 I believe. And the first guy who worked on the suspension said front couldn't be set for my weight. The guys today got it set. I had already dialed down the settings to keep Yolie from beating me to death. But a good jolt to the rear would still try to pitch me out the seat. That's all taken care of. There's not enough rebound damping tho. Yolie pogo'd pretty badly (didn't realize how much) before but it's better now. Not perfect but definitely workable.
The guys at Washington Cycle Works took measurements then described how she road to a T. Down to the guy asking "lemme guess, you never run wide cause she wants to keep turning in?". After the adjustments, they gave me some directions for a quick little 8 mile test run through some local twisties. Completely different ride than before. And then ride back to Philly was 10x smoother.
A lowside every 4-5 years is what I'm averaging. I can live with that
